About Me

Librarian, author, speaker, educator, mom, geek.

My Experience

I am the Head of Instructional Services at Portland State University in Oregon and am an adjunct faculty member at San Jose State University's School of Library and Information Science. I'm also the author of the book Social Software in Libraries: Building Collaboration, Communication and Community Online (Information Today, 2007) and write the monthly column "Technology in Practice" for American Libraries. I'm probably best known for my blog, Information Wants to be Free and for creating and managing Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki.
